Tips and Tricks for Back to School

Here in the South, we like to torture ourselves as early as possible, which means the kids have been back in school for almost two weeks now. Since this is not my first time at this particular rodeo, I have a few tricks that I use to ease the transition. Also, I discuss the "hangry" my kids experience after school. (I'm sure it's wildly familiar to most of you.)

Do you have any tips or tricks to make the transition back to school any easier for your family?

Not really. I just get them into a routine of going to bed at the normal bedtime, and it stays that way pretty much until they graduate high school. We don't start the summer stay up really late thing here.
Otherwise, just talk to them and all that.

These are good ideas! Thanks for sharing. I usually take my daughter shopping for her school supplies, new clothes, and shoes. We make a day out of it and we go out for lunch and we talk about how she will like this year and if she is excited or nervous. She usually doesn't want to go back since she loves summer so much...lol. A week before school starts she goes to bed at her normal school bedtime which is 9pm. Other than that we don't do anything else.
